 Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 3:12 pm Post subject: The Brand New LOTR Trivia Thread |
 |
|
In hopes of injecting some much needed fresh energy into this game I'm starting a new thread.
So here, for everyone's benefit, is a refresher on the rules:
 Questions must be based on the The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Occasionally, questions about the Hobbit have snuck in and no one has complained. However, the Silmarilion, Unfinished Tales, and Histories of Middle Earth are right out (there's a thread for trivia on these books elsewhere on this forum).
There is no time limit on how long a question can remain unanswered; question posers should keep up with the action, though, and if a question is not answered after a few days consider posting another.
If a player correctly answers a question, they have 24 hours from the acknowledgement of the question poser to post a new question. If the next question is not asked in that 24 hour period, the prior question poser should ask another.
Please only answer and ask questions if you have the time to participate in the game. Please do not leave answerers dangling or new questions unasked.

Okay - First question:
 "It seemed to Legolas, as he strained his farseeing eyes, that he caught a glint of white: far away ..."
What is Legolas looking at and from where does he see it?

Shadowfax and Gandalf.
Oooh...God...
Helm's Deep, I think...
Or outside of Fangorn...
(I'm so rusty on trivia now!! I gotta read the books over.)

Location -- close
Object -- not close at all
Try again!
Hint: Legolas is standing next to Gandalf at this moment.

The White Mountains above Edoras?
Looking from the borders of Fangorn before they set out after finding Gandalf..

Yee hee! You are right.
I like that tidbit - it's very concrete and measurable - Legolas can see from Edoras to Minas Tirith; Edoras and Minas Tirith are not all that far apart in the great world.
Your go, then.

If you take Sibley & Howe's "Maps of Tolkien's Middle Earth" as even remotely acurate, then yes, along the northern foothills of the mountains Minas Tirith is in direct line with Edoras (and I would think that the Tower of Ecthelion is the only thing you could see at that distance) but it is 250 miles!!!
If Legolas' eyesight is that good, I dread to contemplate what other enhanced talent he may have. |

Yay, go me! My first trivia question! Okay, the other thread is about a thousand pages long, so I hope this hasn't been asked before. What "...was an eye-opener, and no mistake."?

Dwarrowdelf (although I think it was just the Westron name for Moria).  |
